Haven’t you heard? Doesn’t snow anymore. You should be fine. Time heals.

that day my son spent 5.5 hours on a yellow school bus to travel, as the crow flies, about 2.5 miles. finally the bus driver released him to a neighbor to walk the last 200 yards. I left the office about 2:00 PM and walked in the door 7:00 PM. and that was in a suburban with reasonable snow driving skilz. that was about 20 miles though.
BUT the next day we bagged the only known decents of the treacherous tennis court coulier.

I was at Emory that morning in Decatur and saw that the Law School, Med School and CDC were sending people home around 9am. Pitter patter I thought. Thankful I did, I made it back to Buckhead just as the snow really started to hit. Being well versed in northern driving and equipped with AWD and new rubber on the car the wife and I thought it would be fun to go grab a coffee and tool around to see the carnage.
We made it to the top of the hill in our neighborhood and just before pulling out onto the main road the car just starts sliding sideways while at a full stop. The snow was fine, it was the inch of compressed bulletproof glare ice underneath that no one had thought about. Nope, nope, nope. We turned around and made that into one of the most fun 3 day bacchanals I think we've ever had.
The images are still bizarre to look at.

This is killer hill which is the backside approach to the aforementioned tennis court coulier (pronounced "COOL-err" in local parlance). I remember walking up to this carnage, picture is blown up from a distance (as if that isn't obvious) and realizing these cars had just sorta slid into place blocking the street completely; some held in place by mailboxes, etc.
The whole thing could go, an avalance of cars, at any moment.
